Have to play it the same. You don't want to coast in when you could take this one down and be the chip leader. You've got 700k left if you do lose, enough to work with.

Just curious, how some of you all would have played it, few hands earlier I raised under the gun with QQ and BB went all in, I laid it down after some thought, but wasnt laying my Kings down.

As an update I went out 11th, couldnt claw my way back.

spot on. you'll bust out from time to time, but in general you'll pick up chips with hands like that, which in turn will put you in great shape.
